Defects in cars, SUVs, trucks and other motor vehicles cause numerous unnecessary injuries and deaths each year. Driven by corporate greed, many manufacturers allow unsafe vehicles on the market, either with full knowledge of defects or without adequatel testing for dangerous defects.

One of the best illustrations of the way corporate greed led to the continued use of vehicles known to be dangerous is the exploding Ford Pinto. Ford knew their Pinto cars were defectively designed in a way that resulted in the car exploding if hit from behind, but Ford allowed them to remain on the road based on an analysis determining it would be less expensive to pay legal claims than to recall the cars.

Experienced Dangerous and Defective Motor Vehicle Claims Lawyer

There are many types of dangerous and defective car products that can give rise to a personal injury claim. The following are examples of circumstances where a dangerous or defective car can cause serious injury or death:

Defective Airbags

A defective airbag can cause significantly more injuries than it prevents. In particular, defective airbags are dangerous in the following situations:

• The defective airbag fails to deploy in a high-speed, head-on collision
• The defective airbag deploys with too much force
• The defective airbag deploys too slowly

Defective Seat Belts

Seat belts are designed to prevent injury to the driver and passengers when a vehicle is involved in an accident; however, a defective seat belt or other safety restraint can result in a driver or passenger sustaining serious injury or death. Seat belt defects can include any of the following:

• Defective lap-belt
• Defective or improperly placed anchor
• Defective seat belt retractor
• Defective seat belt latch
• Defective release button

Defective Seat Backs

A seat back failure or seat collapse can occur during a rear-end collision in which car occupants are thrown backwards with great force, thereby applying strong pressure to the seat back. Seat backs may be defective in various ways:

• Faulty design
• Poor construction
• Defective materials used in construction

Defective Tires

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), thousands of traffic accidents each year are caused by tire blowouts. While some of these tire blowouts may be attributed to driver error, many are the result of tire tread separation due to a manufacturing or design defect such as the following:

• Poor design
• Use of defective materials
• Improper manufacturing techniques
• Introduction of foreign substances during the manufacturing process

Crashworthiness

When determining whether a vehicle contains safety-related defects, a crashworthiness analysis must be conducted. This involves the science of testing how well the vehicle minimizes the risk of serious injury or fatality in a wreck. When performing this analysis, experts examine the following:

• Minimized intrusion into the passenger compartment when vehicle exterior is crushed
• Effective restraint systems
• Proper prevention of passenger ejection during an accident
• Systems in place to prevent fuel-fed fires
